They welcomed Barron a year later, though becoming First Lady was likely not part of the plan for Melania when she formed a relationship with the now-president.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Speaking of the first time she met <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unilad.com\/donald-trump\">Trump<\/a>, Melania <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.harpersbazaar.com\/culture\/features\/a13529\/melania-trump-interview-0216\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> Harper\u2019s Bazaar in 2016: &#8220;He wanted my number, but he was with a date, so of course I didn\u2019t give it to him. I said, \u2018I am not giving you my number; you give me yours, and I will call you.\u2019 I wanted to see what kind of number he would give me \u2014 if it was a business number, \u2018What is this?

She may have been concerned about how it affected his future image, but she wasn\u2019t going anywhere.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-image_articleImage__eyzAn\">\n<div class=\"article-image_imageWrapper__ANtPE\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto; display: block; margin: 1em auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=70&amp;width=3840&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltcf45c386b4582023\/68f643c81e6ee8d9468b03dc\/GettyImages-2239446804.jpg\" alt=\"Donald and Melania have been married for two decades (Alex Wong\/Getty Images)\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" data-nimg=\"fill\" \/><\/div>\n<p><cite class=\"image-credit_imageCredit__YMlqS\">Donald and Melania have been married for two decades (Alex Wong\/Getty Images)<\/cite><\/div>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Trump was ultimately sentenced to an unconditional discharge &#8211; which meant that while he remained a convicted felon, he would not face time behind bars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">During the trial, Michael Cohen, the president&#8217;s former attorney, claimed Trump was unbothered by how Melania would react to news of an alleged affair as he was more bothered about being elected the POTUS.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;How long do you think I&#8217;ll be on the market for? Not long,&#8221; Cohen claimed Trump said &#8211; something the president has denied.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Grisham offered her opinion on the matter, saying on CNN in 2024: &#8220;I think that comment [from Trump] to Cohen rang absolutely true. She&#8217;s happy, she&#8217;s got a very good life. She&#8217;s not going anywhere, that&#8217;s been proven. And so I absolutely believe he said something like that to Michael Cohen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><cite class=\"image-credit_imageCredit__YMlqS\">Featured Image Credit: Chip Somodevilla\/Getty Images<\/cite><\/p>\n<p class=\"topics-list_topic__nSIGw\">Topics:\u00a0<a class=\"topics-list_tag__Ryb8j\" href=\"\/donald-trump\">Donald Trump<\/a>, <a class=\"topics-list_tag__Ryb8j\" href=\"\/melania-trump\">Melania Trump<\/a>, <a class=\"topics-list_tag__Ryb8j\" href=\"\/us-news\">US News<\/a>, <a class=\"topics-list_tag__Ryb8j\" href=\"\/politics\">Politics<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A former aide of Melania Trump has claimed the First Lady will never leave Donald Trump for one specific reason.
